I don't see a crisis - maybe just a transitory challenge. At the end
of the day going forward, to get to the root of the problem all they
literally have to do is pass a law that prohibits the wind from
slowing down or stopping unless authorized by the Windspeed
Enforcement Agency. The new agency will be staffed by thoroughly
vetted Greenies, and they will establish the necessary efficacious
metrics.

With your inefficacious calculus, you're doomed to failure. You can't

lol omg indeed. In that entire propaganda bullshit they manage to
bury a single sentence on the effect of Russia limiting energy exports.
But that wasn't even my favorite part of this propaganda excrement. That
was this paragraph.

"In the United States, European-style energy policies likewise cause
tragic consequences with little benefit to Americans. Due to the Biden administration’s inflationary policies, U.S. electricity prices have
more than doubled. Oil and natural gas prices have done the same.
Hundreds of people in Texas died in February 2021 after frozen wind
turbines triggered blackouts. Meanwhile, the administration plans to
replace fossil fuel power with wind and solar by wrapping up $369
billion in climate spending in the Inflation Reduction Act."

Like the Federal government had anything to do with Texans failing
to prepare their completely independent electrical system from severe
weather? Maybe you can get back to us soon if they aren't prepared for
what's coming and tell us all about why it's Biden's fault?

Well, no surprise here. It turns out that the Texans were not
completely prepared for severe weather--again. So, now our jive ass
troll can tell us why this is all due to their reliance on renewable
energy and it's all Biden's fault.

"Greg Abbott Slammed as Thousands Lose Power in Texas During Bomb Cyclone"

"Texas Governor Greg Abbott faced backlash Friday after thousands of
Texans were left without power due to an arctic blast slamming into the
state this week.

The storm brought icy temperatures and strong winds to Texas on Friday, straining the state's power grid and leaving more than 77,000 customers
without power. While the storm did not cause widespread blackouts as one
did in 2021, some power companies were forced to initiate smaller
blackouts to alleviate the power grid's stress after Texas authorities underestimated demand.

The outages added political pressure to Abbott, whose administration has
long faced scrutiny over its handling of the power grid. Much of Texas'
power grid, managed by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas
(ERCOT), is independent from that of the rest of the United States."

With the dams and wind farms on the Columbia river we have a lot of renewable energy here. We lost power at my house for an hour and a half yesterday. I'm sure it's all Biden's fault. We need to tear down those
dams and wind turbines and build ourselves some coal fired plants. lol

In view of recent elections, it seems liberal voters have become
afflicted with Stockholm Syndrome.

"Greg Abbott Faces Texas Grid 'Emergency' as Power Plants Fail"

"The department added that the vast majority of generating units in the
ERCOT region continue to run without any issue, however a small number
of units have experienced "operating difficulties due to cold weather or
gas curtailments."

Around 11,000 megawatts of coal and gas-fired power, 4,000 megawatts of
wind and 1,700 megawatts of solar power generating units were "derated"
or "outaged" due to severe weather conditions, according to the DOE."

"In a statement to Newsweek Saturday afternoon, Renae Eze, Abbott's communications director, said no Texans lost power due to the power grid
and highlighted that the governor signed 14 bills into law to
"weatherize the Texas power grid and ensure its stability and resiliency.""

https://www.newsweek.com/greg-abbott-faces-texas-grid-emergency-power-plants-fail-1769570

Yeah, Texas proves that "green" energy is terrifying. Unless you
spend the money to protect it from severe weather.

LOL It should be painful to be that stupid. The reason Texas is
using "green" energy is because of the analysis of costs and benefits by professionals. The problem in Texas is that, as an individual company,
it's more profitable if you skimp on protecting your energy source.
After all, severe weather events aren't all that common, and the company
can get by if their power supply is limited or off for a few days. Why
pay for heating equipment for wind turbine blades if you almost never
need it and you can just shut off the turbine if weather gets bad?
What's good for individual companies isn't necessarily good good for the
whole grid. The Texans figured that out last year.

When Texas starts scrapping their wind turbines you can tell us
how dangerous green energy is. LOL

That's a part of this that the propagandists would like you to
forget. Green energy was only part of the problem in Texas. They had
fossil fuel generators fail too. It was mostly the same story for them.
Why spend money preparing for extreme weather when that almost never
happens, and you can get by for a few days by drawing power from the
rest of the grid? The technology and the economics didn't change. What
changed is 14 new mandates from the state government. That reduced their problem to a fraction of what it had been.
